    Are there any HTPC specific changes/reasons to update? I tend to stay on the same drivers, unless there is a major change/fix/improvement, until a reinstall.

    I see a few changes that likely affect HTPCs:
    - This release of Catalyst™ introduces a new advanced video quality control: Noise Reduction for progressive video content, which removes ghosting arti-facts while preserving details of the original video.
    - Fix for: Catalyst Control Center, AVIVO video settings are disabled under MS Vista.
    - Fix for: HD video file playback may cause the operating system to stop responding.
    - Fix for: Hot unplugging a HDMI connection during video playback may cause system instability.

    See the full release notes here: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/gamesite/Catalyst_812_release_notes.pdf

    I have had that problem so I'll give these a go.

    Another very important features is the support for pc level through hdmi.

    Infact MP rendering (the basic home for example) is now more dark using default "FULL RGB 4:4:4 pixel format studio", is normal using "Liimited RGB 4:4:4 pixel format studio".

    MP should check this out with new drivers?

    Read the thread I linked to above.

    Short answer: Seems to work OK :)

    Just tried the 8.12 drivers on my system (see spec in my profile), DXVA is working on x264 encoded files (no subtitles obviously).

    I'm on XP and use VMR9 so never had flickering problem caused by graphics drivers.

    It's taken so long to get DXVA working I don't think I'll ever change them!

    I tried setting the windows screensaver to power off the display on my MP1 HTPC but in fact it only blanks the screen ("no video signal") on the TV I suspect the AVR has something to do with that. If I manually put the TV only into standby when TV is playing but paused then on wakeup I could not immediately take it out of pause and...
